Foundations of Hand-Building with Clay: Shape & Silhouette | Roxanne Jackson | 2027 Summer Session 1

Designed for all skill levels with no prior experience required, this intensive two-week workshop introduces the core architecture of clay through sculptural and utilitarian construction. Through hands-on practice, participants will learn fundamental techniques such as pinching, coil building, and hollowing out forms. They will receive personalized guidance and feedback while developing technical problem-solving skills and exploring essential design principles—focusing on shape, silhouette, and craftsmanship.

Please Note: Due to time constraints and to maximize construction time, this workshop focuses on clay building; no glazing will take place during these two weeks, but there will be a week long glazing workshop: August 2-7, 2027.

July 11 - July 24, 2027 from 10am-4pm
